2020 Data on Chinese Official MLT Export and Trade-related Programs EXIM’s Charter1 instructs EXIM to estimate foreign ECA activity and include it in the annual Competitiveness Report. Therefore, EXIM gathers data and then estimates the size and scope of China’s official MLT export credit and trade-related programs. Since China EXIM and Sinosure publish their annual reports under a 2-year time -lag with data that is not detailed enough, often difficult to decipher, and missing information, the true scope, scale, and details of the Chinese government’s official export and trade-related activity is unknown. For example, the reporting from China EXIM had been on exposure basis by sector then their reporting excluded sectoral information the next year. Therefore, each year EXIM utilizes multiple open sources and research techniques to gather information on China’s official activity. EXIM generates a list of potential projects for inclusion in the Competitiveness Report based on online tools. EXIM’s research pulls information from English and certain Mandarin sources when possible, including newspapers, press releases, official websites, academic papers, and government reports from across the globe. EXIM uses the web search tools below, among others, to compile a database of potential Chinese export and trade-related projects: • Emerging Markets Information Service (EMIS) Intelligence • Google Alerts • Bloomberg • EBSCO Information Services • Lexis Nexis (Lexis Advance) • TXF Although EXIM found specific Sinosure transactions, Sinosure’s official export credit numbers were estimated using their 2019 annual report. For more details on the methodology EXIM used for the CY 2020 China database, visit the Methodological Note in the Introduction section (pages 22-23) of the Competitiveness Report. To encourage other researchers and experts in the field to further expand or clarify any relevant research, any interested parties that wish to provide feedback or recommendations on the process and findings can make further inquiries to [email protected]. Note: All data is as of June 30, 2021. This database is a living document, which EXIM modifies on a continuous basis as further research is conducted and new information is received. The information contained in this database, and the methodology used, is subject to change based on further research and available resources. EXIM attempts to verify the validity of the financial terms and conditions of the transactions within the database, refines its methodology, and compares its findings with intragovernmental and external sources. While EXIM makes every effort to find and verify data from official sources, the data in this database should be taken as estimates, and it has not been verified or confirmed by the Chinese government, or any other foreign government entity mentioned in the data. 1 12 U.S.C. 635g-1(a)(1) Included* as an Chinese Official Borrower/ Support Type (If Estimated Amount Country Project description official** Export Source**** Financing Entity Buyer Applicable) USD (millions) Credit Argentina*** Unknown Unknown 100 SEC Report Filing https://sec.report/Document/0001104659-20-136471/ Credit Line No Not Applied Bangladesh Bangladesh National Power China EXIM Bangladesh Government 690 Yes Financial Express Export Credit (Preferential Grid Expansion Project https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/trade/bd-gets-10b-china-loan-to-improve-power-grid- Export Buyers Credit or 1596857911 PEBC) http://oecnc.ic-ceca.org.cn/news_xx.php?id=2391 Bangladesh Bangladesh National Power China EXIM Bangladesh Government 280 Yes Financial Express Grid Expansion Project https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/trade/bd-gets-10b-china-loan-to-improve-power- grid-1596857911 Export Credit (Concessional) http://oecnc.ic-ceca.org.cn/news_xx.php?id=2391 Belarus*** 15 Electric Locomotives China EXIM Belarussian Railways 79 No Belta Article https://eng.belta.by/economics/view/belarusian-railways-to-acquire-15-modern-electric- locomotives-from-china-136262-2020/ Not Applied Belgium Release from Debt Service Sinosure EXMAR 40 No Nexis Alert April 1, 2020 -
